This is as good as it gets when it comes to optics. This high-quality compact scope is bright and tough. The True Strength platform ensures that this scope won't break if you mount it on a magnum-powered spring-piston air rifle. Ideal for hunting, hunter field target, plinking, pest elimination and more. Can also be mounted on any firearm or airsoft gun with a Weaver rail.

This UTG scope has an etched-glass reticle, which is superior to a wire reticle because it's etched by a laser and is much more precise. That lets you get even more accuracy from your gun. Another way that etched-glass reticles are superior to wire reticles is when they're illuminated. The etched ones show the illumination only on the reticle. It looks like the reticle is floating. Wire reticles often have a reflection of the illumination in the objective lens, which can be distracting when shooting.

Things I liked:Overall, this is a great scope. Just the right size for my HW 95. I would recommend to anyone.Things I would have changed:NothingWhat others should know:It has etched glass and is easy to see through.

Things I liked:I liked everything about this scope, well could have done without the illumination but what the heck. It could come in handy taking care of early morning predators coming for my chickens.Things I would have changed:They should have a quick written guide on how to use the illuminated colors. I believe it has a memory to your last used choice but messing with it couldn't figure out how to get yellow. Would have looked up how to use on internet but can't keep the scope.What others should know:Being a compact you need a short stock. My Walther Talon, or the Hatsan 125 has a long shoulder of stock. My gun has forward position and rear position for mounting weaver rings. Being a compact scope in the rear position and moving the scope back the 1/4 inch of play it has in rings was still nearly 2 inches short of good eye relief.
I called Pyramyd to see if there was anything we could do to get me maybe an inch and they told me straight up just return it and get another scope. I deal with that another day but great customer service and am sure the return and replacement will go smoothly.

Things I liked:Overall construction is solid, glass is reasonably clear for the price range, features and adjustments are tight and solid, reticle is outstanding in daylight.Things I would have changed:this scope has a glass etched reticle which is great, but the illuminated feature is worthless in the dark due to the halo produced around the reticle. It is; however, very usable in conjunction with a decent light. I think I would get the wire reticle version if a lot of night shooting is required of the scope. Also, the fast focus feature is loose enough to cause parallax issues if you wiggle it from side to side. This is easily fixable by dropping an appropriate size o-ring behind the ocular adjustment any tightening the ocular ring down to the o-ring. This keeps it centered.What others should know:Good scope, worth the money for knock around optics, wouldn't trust it on a rifle that was dedicated for personal defense or long range hunting. Spend some money for those applications.
